COVID-19 Update
As a result of unfolding events related to COVID-19, Friendship Centers of Emmet County’s Community Mitigation Strategy continues to evolve as we assess and reassess the safety of the seniors in Emmet County and Friendship Centers staff. Slowing the curve of the spread is our top priority as we continue to monitor the needs of our most vulnerable. Our buildings are closed to the public. Please check here for the most up to date information about additional programs and services.
Our Promise
is to ensure that all senior citizens have the opportunities, information, and services necessary to live healthy, safe and active lives in dignity.
Friendship Centers of Emmet County is a non-profit organization designated as the Council on Aging for Emmet County. We provide need-based, simple assistive care services to seniors in Emmet County, allowing older adults to remain living in their own home.
How We Can Help
We work hand in hand to help all senior citizens thrive! Each senior is unique in his or her abilities and needs. Friendship Centers seeks to meet each senior where they are. Person-centered planning allows us to focus on the desires or goals of the senior and then work to address those needs with information, services, and opportunities.
